Kurhaus in Wiesbaden, Wiesbaden (Germany) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Kurhaus in Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The most popular large-scale meeting place in Wiesbaden, Germany is the magnificently designed Kurhaus.

Kurhaus means spa house, which was once its purpose in this well-known spa town.

The building is designed in the neoclassical style, reminiscent of ancient Greece and Rome, with columns, porticos, and even a dome.

The words Aquis Mattiacis are inscribed over the entrance to the Kurhaus and mean the waters of the Mattiaci.

So many people were visiting the Wiesbaden spas that the old spa house was demolished in 1907 to make way for the larger current building.

At night, the Kurhaus transforms into a glowing palace, with a golden dome and a glimmering fountain.

Very nice! I lived in Wiesbaden in the late 1950's and early 1960's as a youngster between 8 to 11 years old and I remember the Kurhaus. It brings back memories!

There is a park and garden behind the Kurhaus with a big pond and one of my aunts used to take me there to feed the ducks and swans in that pond! I hope to someday visit Germany and Wiesbaden again. It is a very charming city.
